Video has emerged showing Russian conscripts training using tanks and machine guns.

A tank can be seen being driven along a track, shortly followed by another military vehicle before a soldier is seen using a machine gun.

The images were obtained from the Russian Ministry of Defense on Tuesday, October 3, along with a statement claiming: 'Servicemen of the spring conscription of 2023 performed live firing at one of the training grounds of the Central Military District in the Samara region.

'Military personnel serving in military units of the Central Military District and called up to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the spring of this year continue to improve their skills in military specialties at the training grounds of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

'At the Roshchinsky training ground in the Samara region, military personnel carried out combat coordination within motorized rifle squads within the framework of a unified training system, and also performed shooting exercises.

'Motorised rifles in combat twos advanced along the winding fortification with the task of occupying the most advantageous positions.

Instructors-mentors and unit commanders with combat experience showed in practice how to correctly move deeper into the trenches and conduct shooting combat.

'Also, training sessions on tactical training, radiation, chemical and biological protection and tactical medicine were conducted with the personnel.'

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, in what the Kremlin is still calling a 'special military operation'.
